Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol

[Supermario]

i used to think my truck is customized, but after seeing some of the beautiful, true customizing guy's are doing with chopping, stretching and duplicating actual trucks I came to realize my truck is " personalized " . I've enjoyed every moment up till now and hope to start learning how to build a true customized rig in the future.

[dabears]

Nice truck you got! I was eying one of the metallic kits the other day. Yours turned out very nice!

[Supermario]

The Finnish on this truck is flawless. I was quite impressed. What drew me to the metallic edition was the lack of major painting required...the draw back is the inability to cut or modify the body and not hide modifications......hmmmm sounds like a good challenge, chop, lower and stretch a king hauler metallic edition with flawless finish, no cuts showing.
How do I buy just the metallic body shell?

[glorydays24]

Supermario, that sure is a lot of bling:eek: Look's sharp. I noticed in #4 pic, the front wheel look's different. I like it for a future project I have in mind. Where did you get them, and do you have rears to match? Now go save the princess lol.

Thanx, Big John

[gun]

You can do a lot with a metallic king hauler!!! John (s&p) built my truck ( project gunshy) out of one :D:D

[Supermario]

yes, rims in pic 4 are different.got them from RC damper. a five spoke style, rear rims look wicked, front ones are bland.... i actually added the wheel lugs you see. i used 2 mm nuts and glued to rim and it looks good. my biggest problem was it made the truck look more " RC " than "semi truck". i use the rear rims on my trailer, fronts sit in my spare parts box now i bought the transport truck type rims. Also changed the front tires, they looked too much like " drive tires" and replaced with a " steer tire " from Ric Murphy.

Thank you buddy.:) I'm planning on doing a "KISS" theme truck and trailer, and I wanted wheels that we don't see everyday. And these are it.:D

Big John

[Supermario]

Oh yeah, these rims suit a Kiss theme truck perfectly. They got that look to them, you won't be disappointed ....hope to see pics in the future!

[SWAGGER]

Supermario, honestly, I wasn't sure I liked the metallic editions too much. I thought it might just be too much chrome.....until I saw this!! I'm actually really impressed, it looks great. Just pure bling!

[Supermario]

Thanks Swagger, glad you like it. When I first started the build , as i opened the box full of chrome that blinded me for a second.....lol.......I was considering painting stuff like the marker lights, horns ,air cleaners , visor in flat black as a contrast. But I put it all together and looking at it in person is way better than pictures can show. The entire body is like a mirror and it reflects everything in the room. From different angles the truck lights up differently, the top of sleeper and hood can be a dark mirror look while the sides are light and bright. The chrome actually highlights truck body lines and details more than hide with bright shiny bling.
Conclusion..... Enough bling will create blang ? Lol....

[Diesel Demond]

that hurts my eyes its blinging so much.. lol sharp looking truck

[MACK Daddy]

Always been a fan of the chrome king..Looks like you've taken good care of it...It Blings like crazy
!
Nice !

Alfy

[cielo1889]

always thought the metallic wouldnt look good and bought myself the normal kh.
but after seeing this, it looks great...

[Supermario]

Well, as much as i hated having to take my truck half apart, after i had all the wiring looking and sitting perfectly. I was anxious to install my new 4:1 gear reduction and new fuel tanks from PMD. As a matter of fact about 75% of the items added to the truck is from PMD. I love Ric's site!! The new drive is awsome and was well worth the wait.
I was having so much fun I almost for got to take some pics before reassembly.... Todays project, get er back together and take for a test run

[glorydays24]

Looking good with the aluminum tanks and 4:1, perhaps a video?:rolleyes:

Big John

[dabears]

Looking good! I wanna see a vid too

[Supermario]

I can load videos on this site?

[Smiley]

Yeah scroll down toward the bottom left and it say RC video's

[Supermario]

for some reason i see nothing that shows an rc video tab. I'm no computer expert but i sure aint no greenhorn with one......will work on it.

You can not load a video directly to the forum. You will have to use a host site like YouTube or photo bucket then post the links here just like you do for pics form photo bucket or any other host site.

Thanks bud, I thought I was losin my mind why I couldn't figure it out. And you save me a bunch of grief, thanks again

[Supermario]

here she is after reassembly....

I want to thank everyone who use's this forum, it has been a great help to me. Just yesterday i was reading a few threads and discovered that the 5th wheel switch effects the power delivered to the motor through the MFU..... I had never bothered to install the switch originally because i thought it was for sound effects only. Seeing as my truck was all apart when i discovered this info, i took the time to install and to my amazement, it does make a difference! Thanks again guys!

So here is my chance to share some info / insight of my own..... If anyone out there is thinking bout buying a 4:1 gear reduction drive for their truck, go for it!...money well spent i say!
My truck can now be driven slow, smooth and with tons of torque. Can drive from a smooth to rough or bumpy surface without having to drastically change throttle position. And in the future, if i want all that crazy speed back, it's real eazy to remove unit and reinstall original driveline!......way, way in the future.No plans to do so but nice to know that no original parts are damaged or modified for installation.

So check out the video of " King of bling hauler " with new reduction drive...

looks cool! he chrome bodies are pretty neat.

[Supermario]

Just so were all clear.... I never knew this would happen, check out the lighting effect under the chassis since I installed the 4:1 gearbox..... I like it

thanks for the vid!!! Loved it!! i had to go to your youtube page to see the night one. now it makes me want to upload the 10+ vids of my truck to you tube... :D how are you liking the 4:1? is there a big difference? im on the fence of getting one

[Supermario]

Glad you enjoyed the vids. I love the 4:1 , very happy with it. The difference is amazing. The truck is much more controllable. Slow, smooth power with lots of torque. You can drive on a smooth to bumpy or rough terrain without having to give more throttle. You may have noticed how slow I was moving in the video, that was second gear and just easing the stick forward.

Another thing I like is the fact that all you do is drill 2 holes in the frame rails, that's it no mods no grinding. If you ever want to go back to that super crazy speed you can, just remove drive and install original driveshaft which can be done in less than 30 minutes..

4:1 = money well spent.

[glorydays24]

Really love the video, super bling.:D I've been thinking of getting a 4:1 myself, after all the hard work of building and detailing I want slow.:p
Not to hijack your thread, I had a metallic king, and I sent it to a guy that made a peterbilt 379-X for me. Well he screwed me out of it and some other things, and all together I was screwed out of between $10 and $12,000.00.
Lesson learned, keep track of everything...I thought he was a friend.:mad:
Anyhoo, I love your truck.:D:D:D

Big John

[Supermario]

Glad you like the video big John.... Super bling ?... Lol , I like it.

Well, im off to work for the next 2weeks, minimal Internet available up north. Hope to see some awesome pics of your KISS truck when I get back to civilization....

[civic83]

nice truck! you will be a welcome addition to SWOMTA.ca !

[Supermario]

Hello everyone, after 14 days straight of 12 hr shifts, I'm back from the great white north....and I mean snow on the ground and ice on the lakes .Glad to be home for 14 glorious days off! The other nice part of this work rotation, I order parts for my truck before I leave for work.... and when I get home, the parts are here.
It's funny, I work for Caterpillar on large mining equipment for a living and when I get home, I work on my scale truck with all those microscopic screws and parts #$%#^.... I love every minute of it!!!!
Here's a few pics of my latest order. All aluminum front axle and rear suspension links from RC damper, and my beautiful air cleaners from PMD. Plus a new upgraded power plant for "Super bling". My labour of love starts.....tommorow, I need some sleep first...LOL

[SWAGGER]

Some tasty parts there, enjoy fitting them. After a good sleep of course!

[Supermario]

Hello all ,

I must now proclaim my first rc semi complete.... sure, there's always something else to add or change but I realize my truck and trailer, with all the extra's ( from arizona, hong kong , germany ) cost me just under $2,000 grand total.... So instead of investing more in "Super Bling" , I'm buying another truck this fall to build next winter.
I plan on another KH but it will be the total opposite to Super Bling. All black, zero bling. Nothing but gloss and flat black with a few chrome hilights ( fuel tank straps, battery box black with chrome steps, air cleaner straps chrome.....)

So here's the last pics of the Super Bling build. I'm working on building a road in my back yard to film some video's of the truck doing what I intended it for......HAUL BEER! Video's coming soon! Thanks for lookin.

[SWAGGER]

Congratulations SuperMario, mods are sweet. I like the ying and yang idea you have going.

[Supermario]

Congratulations SuperMario, mods are sweet. I like the ying and yang idea you have going.

Thanks Swagger, That's it exactly, ying and yang. Now that you say it, you gave me a great idea. I'll get decals made that say YYT ( ying yang trucking ) and as a company logo I'll use the ying n yang symbol. I can already picture the two rigs parked next to each other and the effect it will create.

Maybe I can't wait for next winter........lol

[SWAGGER]

That's what I pictured in my head when I said it, I think that would be very cool. The ying yang logo in black and chrome like this:

http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTMsQJHDVTA5hElwxHEtr___YAeWbuLR lia5nKzsByXRDCm1LUo

[Supermario]

Yes. With ying n yang along The top edge of the circle and trucking around the bottom....a Chinese type font.....perfect . Simple but effective. Easy to make.
Thanks again swagger!

[SWAGGER]

Ah no worries, it's cool to bounce ideas around until they take shape. Best of luck!;)

[Supermario]

a few pics in the backyard. I couldn't help myself and ordered another trailer. I want to make a B train.... supposed to save cash for next truck but still finding ways to add to this one. Oh well....lol

[glorydays24]

Wow Mario, that body sure pops in the sun...Where's my sun glasses???:rolleyes:;):D:cool: Very nice indeed.

Big John

[Supermario]

Been awhile since i posted recent pics of super bling. the 4:1 is installed, new fuel tanks, air cleaners....

thanks for checkin it out!

Mario

[Supermario]

Well, after being at work for 2 weeks, finally home and some new parts have arrived.....so as much as I didnt want to, i bit the bullet and completely disassembled my truck, again. This time was the most extreme. Stripped right down to frame rails. The reason for such insanity is for the frame rail extensions i bought from PMD, custom aluminium cross members, motorized support legs servo, rewire and reorganize sleeper area to fit the MFU, my new TX board for wireless trailer lights and a mini smoke generator which plugs directly into mfu in place of shaker motor. I hope it all fits because I also have a set of John's custom mitred stacks coming which will look great with smoke coming out:). Anyway, enough talk.Here's some pics.

[1985 kenworth]

oh oh remember mario we live in canada so make sure it will pass emissions :p:p:p

[Supermario]

LOL, how true. It's all about the emissions nowdays. The electronic engines of today can create so much horsepower but are set low to meet emissions....no more pulling out your fuel injection pump rack tooling and " turning things up a bit". :)

Not sure if the smoke generator is going to stay on my truck, I've heard reports that the smoke can leave an oily residue and if true......if I get one microscopic drop of the stuff on Super Bling, thats it, smoke will be gone!

oh oh remember mario we live in canada so make sure it will pass emissions :p:p:p

[Supermario]

got some more done on Super Bling today. Deceided to start laying out how things are going to fit in the sleeper.

something like this.....

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r620/Kinghauler2012/My%20RC%20truck%20pics%20and%20vids/sleepermockup.jpg

then an idea came to mind. I want to be able to remove the battery without having to move or disconnect stuff so , using nothing but leftovers from my trailer, I made a rack and shelf out of the vertical stake from the flatbed and remnants of the front plate.

its not the best looking but , it works!
Also, after almost 4 hrs of work I got a deck plate made for the 5th wheel servo. Unfortunately the plate i had to work with was not long enough to cover entire deck so I installed the original to fill it in for now. Wow, there is not much room for error when installing that servo! Turned out that the frame rail extension mounting bolts are right where the servo needs to be. It took alot of trimming and grinding to get it in there!

[Supermario]

Good luck with the smoke gen I have burnt up 5 of them they dont last long. the tug boat ones are much better that is what Rod runs in his..

Thanks for the heads up. This smoke generator thing is a experiment. The cons are: white smoke not black , leaves a oily residue , lack of durability . The pros are: ????? Haven't found one yet. Maybe that's why I don't see many trucks with smoke? Come to think of it, today's electronic engines don't smoke! .......Atention ! Smoke generator for sale ! Never used! Lol

using an old step from the plastic fuel tanks I cut it to size and made a step for my new space behind the sleeper.

That's bad a$$ looking Mario! Love the stretch looks much better with it!

[dmess62]

Much better with the stretch. It would be nice if the stock truck trucks came with a little longer rails. The trailer looks good also

[Supermario]

That's bad a$$ looking Mario! Love the stretch looks much better with it!

Thanks Aaron , glad you like the stretched look. So do I ......don't matter how much bling you put on a truck if it don't look right eh?

[Supermario]

Much better with the stretch. It would be nice if the stock truck trucks came with a little longer rails. The trailer looks good also

Thanks dmess62. I agree. Both truck and trailer are a little short coming from tamiya. The trailer was just too short and the truck cab looks way too big for the frame. Now with the stretch, things are actually normal lookin. I'm not complaining bout tamiya , I think they hit marketing genius with the king hauler. It can be a Pete or a Kenworth....it can be long or short. Correct me if I'm wrong but, variety and options are the spice of life correct?:D:D:D

Mario

[Snochaser]

Nice and shiny, great job. Where did you get the air lines/ glad hands from?

[hippy]

well done! like the stacks. they smoking yet? and if the opp stops you for the smoke, tell them the truck is from alberta! we love our smoke!

[Supermario]

I can't figure out how to attach multiple quotes to a post like I see others doing but wanted to thank everyone for their comments and for lookin!

Mario

[Supermario]

Nice and shiny, great job. Where did you get the air lines/ glad hands from?

Hey Snochaser, I made the air hose's from 20 gage solid copper core wire which I wrapped tightly around a steel rod ( the rod was actually the leftover piece of driveshaft from my PMD driveline I ordered when I stretched the truck. )
The glad handles are cotter pins which I cut the ends off, pinched the wire core into and soldered. I was considering making a connection point on the trailer to hook them too when I realized, I just spent a pile of time and money eliminating connections and installing a wireless light kit and now I'm adding wires back on the trailer??? Lol. I may still do it, real easy to do.

[Supermario]

well done! like the stacks. they smoking yet? and if the opp stops you for the smoke, tell them the truck is from alberta! we love our smoke!

Hey hippy , no smoke yet. After almost 2weeks of my truck and trailer being tore apart on the workbench, I'm happy to see it together again and just want to enjoy it for awhile and admire the " bling " before i complete the smoker install. The unit is in the truck, just need to find some tubing and a way to connect to the stacks. Also need to figure out a way to fill the unit with oil without having to remove the body everytime. I hate removing the body, man there's a lot of wires in there I tell ya! :eek::eek:
Thanks for looking !

Mario

[Supermario]

lookin good cant wait to see the reefer trailer hooked to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Spudd! I can't wait either. I think it's going to look wicked! I've got a bit of a surprise also. I bought a tanker trailer and should have it complete today. It looks great behind the truck. A shiny truck needs shiny trailers and your reefer plus this tanker make a great set! Looks like a sunny day today, will try and post pics.

Mario

[dabears]

I got my sun glasses on let's see these shiny pics! ;)

[Supermario]

That tanker looks right at home behind king bling! That setup looks Sweet!

thanks dabears , i knew the tanker would look good but hummed and haaawed about the cost for along time. But then one day tower hobbies had a promo deal on , plus I'm a member so managed to knock almost 75 bucks off so that was enough to get me to buy it and now that it's together and hooked to the truck....I'm very happy with my choice.
I ordered another wireless light kit for it and motorized legs. 8 extra marker lights / 4 per side. Have plans for a custom Decal for truck and tanker. The ying and yang symbol that swagger brout up a few months ago on this thread. anyway, thats it for now. Thanks for lookin man.

Mario

[Loggingtruck]

Do you carry your truck with cloth gloves? Not a single smudge or finger print

[Supermario]

That setup looks Sweet

Thanks Mario , you have a very sweet truck n trailer too. I love the attention to detail and realism of your trailer. Nice work!

Mario

[Supermario]

Do you carry your truck with cloth gloves? Not a single smudge or finger print

Hey Aaron. I wear laytex gloves not cloth.:D:D .....seriously, everytime after running the truck or doing repairs I use a swiffer duster to remove any large particles and then use the polishing cloth that came with the truck to remove prints and smudges. When not in use, I store the truck in a large tote box. All my orders from tower hobbies come with " air bag " type packing. I saved it all and surround the truck with it in the tote. The truck is nice and snug and safe inside. No dust, no damage. Im always very careful and cautious when handling the truck...... Can you say... " anal " ..... Yes I am !
Did I ever mention the fact that I armor all the tires on a regular basis?

Thanks Shawn. No need to step up your game. After meeting you guys and seeing what you've all accomplished , I'm in catch up mode. I've been hooked on RC trucks since I bought my truck, but since the Clifford show, I can't get it out of my head, I'm RC crazy now! :D:D:D , just can't get enough, of this wonderful stuff! Lol

Well after all the fun of the indy show and now my wifes truck arriving the same day we got back from the show, I totally forgot to post pics of King of bling hooked up to my new custom reefer done by Spudd. ( my apoligies dude !:o:o ) My trailer fleet is almost complete. I have the reefer and tanker which add to the Bling of the truck. For the King effect, my stretched flatbed which was my first official attempt at " no instructions included " type build for haulin beer cans in my back yard and now as of yesterday. I bought a 3 axle lowboy trailer to haul equipment around at next years indy show:cool::cool::D

So heres some pics of King with the new reefer. Thanks for looking :)

Glad you like, some of us are decent builders but cant paint worth a @$%^ if our lives depened on it.... so when i saw the chrome body i was sold. I got it from Towerhobbies.com. a company in illinois.

been into this hobby since last xmas and in all that time ive seen 2 other chrome kings on youtube, none on this site. Most guys on the forum had seen pics of one and thought it was too much. if you read my thread, you'll see alot of guys have changed their opinion of the metallic edition.....or maybe just being nice....:):):)

Glad you like it trucker Al . Sorry though, from what ive been told by the masters in this hobby, there was only 5 of these units ever made. When i said this was a " custom " reefer i wasnt kiddin. ( compliments of "Spudd" )

Hey terry. Already got that taken care of. I have a cat dozer from Bruder on order for it. It's not a true lowboy with detach gooseneck.....funny story actually. Susan was asking about what sites to look at for truck parts and I mentioned rc4wd. To be honest, I had yet to go to the site myself:o:o. So, after telling her bout it....I checked it out and bought what we call in my neck of the woods a " beaver tail " trailer but with no ramps . I've loaded equipment many times years ago on these trailers and scared myself everytime!....stories for next year I can tell ya.
Anyway, funny how Susan is looking to buy parts for her truck and I end up buying for mine..... I gotta quit helping her look for stuff already. This is gonna get real expensive real quick:eek::eek::eek::eek:
